Question Suggestion about vids posting

All forums now have a new feature when you post a vids link to
youtube, streetfire or any other site

The vid is posted in the same page you dont have to click the link to see.

Just a suggestion I think everyone will like it.

Thanks Mods.

If you are talking about embedded videos, we do not plan on allowing that in the forseeable future, the last time I was informed.

Just a slight correction, not all forums on all sites will allow hotlink posting.

The biggest problem we've had are two things: the picture from the video link is usually larger than allowed here for a signature or the like.
The other is bandwidth use, particularly those now connecting to us through mobile/celluar devices. We don't want to bog down the site with hotlinked videos from literally thousands of registered members and visitors at any hour.

Doesn't mean it won't happen sometime in the future but for now, it's better to keep the site from crashing or crawling
